A masterpiece in frosting

Last Friday night was the reception for the Just Desserts show at Gallery 9 in Norwood. In addition to submitting a painting, artists were encouraged to bring a dessert that was inspired by their submission. I had always wanted to try my hand at "painting" a masterpiece on a cake with frosting. A logical transition for a palette knife painter, don't you think? Well, here it is...

My first Ann Gogh:

Here is a close up after the first few bites were enjoyed:Which masterpiece do you think would look good frosted on a cake?

Oh my goodness! A fabulous idea and so beautiful! A logical step indeed! It would have been so hard for me to cut into this cake (though admittedly, cake is a serious downfall for me, so I hardly have it in the house because I can eat the whole thing in two days)! Absolutely exquisite, Ann!

This is wonderful Ann. The first time I did a palette knife painting, I thought of cake the whole time. It does feel like you are frosting a cake so this is the perfect next step. Personally, I think your cake looks better than the master's original but that could be because yours is making my mouth water. Yum yum!
